Photographer’s Note
.
This is one of the first photos I took within my first hour in the city of Tijuana where my friend Kiet Luu guided me to.
There is a famous quotation about Mexico:
"¡Pobre México! Tan lejos de Dios, y tan cerca de los Estados Unidos — Poor Mexico! So far from God, and so close to the United States." (José de la Cruz Porfirio Díaz Mori, 1830-1915)
In the case of this photo, we can see a reversal: "Poor United States! So far from God, and so close to... Viagra."
In case there is a problem, you can get help from US Consulate General. Their contact info:
